If one frequently "corrects" people about language in ordinary conversation, then she/he is a language bully. If one decries, for example, the use of less instead of fewer, in the privacy of one's home, not so much. My wife and I cringe and moan when someone on television or the radio makes a language flub.

On a forum like the Agora, one should be able to state his/her point, whatever it is, without rancor on her/his part and on the part of the forum members. That way we avoid being language bullies.

I just came across a 3-year old post on the Chronicle of Higher Education titled 10 Tips on How to Write Less Badly. Sadly, the comment section is closed. I wanted to "bully" the author for his first sentence:

"Most academics, including administrators, spend much of our time writing."

"Less Badly," might that not include subject/pronoun agreement?

Not one of the commenters caught him out on this one.

Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
